Graffiti deterrent?
Walking the beach many a.m’s I enjoy the beauty, serenity and all the attributes Wrightsville Beach offers.
Unfortunately, that is being disturbed by graffiti on the pilings under Johnnie Mercer’s Pier … which are not in English!!
Possibly a sign forbidding this would deter more?

Stressful experience
I rented a room from [The Silver Gull Motel] Sept. 12th through Sept. 14th. On Sept. 12th, I telephoned around 5 or 6 pm and spoke with a woman. I told her I was late and was not going to make the 11 pm deadline and asked what was required of me to pick up the key to my room after hours. She said to call back around 10pm. If I was still late, to let the person at the desk know and they would hide a key for me. I did just that. A young man answered. I told him I was late and should be there by midnight. He said he would wait instead of hiding the key. Well, at 11:45pm, I telephoned to say I was not going to make it by midnight and I’d need to know where to find my key. NO ONE ANSWERED! I left a message for a return call to tell me where my key was so I could get some sleep. No one returned my call. I finally arrived at approximately 3am. Still no return call, no one at the motel and no note telling me where to find my key. I had been awake 24 hours and had no place to sleep! I checked nearby but the establishments were either closed or had no vacancies. … Because of the young man who works for [The Silver Gull Motel] who said he would wait but didn’t, (and didn’t have the decency to call me and say so or leave me a key) I spent more than $800 … to stay awake more than 35 hours so I could drive to North Carolina and back to Michigan straight through. … This was to be the only vacation I was to have this year and instead of relaxing I had one of the most stressful experiences I have had in my life.
